This month for our Midnight Society Movie Night, I will live-tweet The Forest. Directed by Jason Zada, written by Ben Ketai, Nick Antosca, and Sarah Cornwell, The Forest, an American supernatural horror film, took the screen in 2016. I didn't see this in the theater, slightly worried I wouldn't like it. Not received well, people didn't have good things to say about the movie. Though when it appeared on DVD, I bought it. Not a favorite movie of some and maybe not my very favorite ever, I enjoyed it. Not incredibly scary, I liked the creepiness, the tone, and t[...]

0 Hey there, fans of all the horror movies. Let's talk about a couple I watched recently...yes, two movies for the price of one post. First, I decided to go see A Quiet Place in the theaters. My esteemed colleague Brian posted his thoughts on this movie, so go read it here, he is absolutely right. The silence in this movie is breathtaking. The crinkle of my M&M bag made me cringe. When someone sneezed in the theater, I almost cried out "WE ARE ALL GOING TO DIE NOW THANKS!". But I didn't. I'm not a movie-ruiner. Seriously, I was too busy sitting on the edge o[...]
Let's Watch a Horror Movie is now the Midnight Society Movie Night! Every month I live-tweet a scary movie to share the fun with anyone who wants to join. This month I'm watching IT. Join us. We all float down here. The evil from the sewers comes for dinner, I mean, IT only eats once every 29 years, so can we blame IT? A super fun movie where we can spend time with Pennywise the Dancing Clown. Who can say no? I'll give you a balloon. Directed by Andy Muschietti and based on 1986 Stephen King book, this movie takes us to meet and battle IT. Ben, Richie, Eddie[...]
If you haven't heard of Channel Zero on SYFY channel, you should go check it out. The first season, Candle Cove, was creepy fun as a childhood terror refused to be forgotten, as a lost brother was found. The second season, No-End House, dove into the pain of the past, of how...just maybe...we'd rather live without it. The third season, Channel Zero: Butcher's Block has just finished, the final episode played last night. I haven't watched it yet...but I will, then return to share my thoughts. SyFy channel describes their show as... BUTCHER’S BLOCK, the third[...]
Because it's Oscar month (this Sunday!) and because a horror movie has been nominated...let's watch Get Out. This fabulous 2017 horror movie directed and written by Jordan Peele, not only made us cringe and shudder, but made us think about how we look at, how we think about, and how we treat people of color. Chris, a black man, journeys to meet his girlfriend's parents, his white girlfriend's parents. The visit should be fine, but from the very beginning the trip tumbles into a mess of weird and creepy. Get Out addresses the true horror of racism, not only a d[...]
Greetings, horror movie lovers. There's a new movie out. Just this month, Winchester arrived in theaters. Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig and written by the Spierigs and Tom Vaughn, the story is inspired by the legend of Sarah Winchester and the Winchester House. Of course, I took myself to see it. My fellow Midnighter The Davis Girl suggested I jot down my expectations or pre-viewing thoughts to compare with my thoughts post-viewing. I didn't have a lot of expectations, going into a book or movie I am ready to accept what the writers want t[...]
February, time for hearts and flowers and chocolates and giant cuddly teddy bears...and strange, scary other dimensions with monsters and a town haunted by the past. I love watching horror movies with friends, so join me for this month's live-tweet of Silent Hill. As I searched through my movies, this one called to me. It's been too long since I've enjoyed the descent into the madness of a town haunted by secrets. We all need creepy nurses, Pyramid Head, and the rage of a little girl. Based on the horror video game, Silent Hill was released in 2006 and directe[...]
Hello, horror movie lovers! I am a big fan of the Insidious movie series, so when the newest chapter released earlier this month, I WENT! So let’s talk scary. INSIDIOUS: The Last Key The fourth in the series, but the second in the story's timeline, this horror film directed by Adam Robitel, written by Leigh Whannell, and produced by Jason Blum, Oren Peli, and James Wan follows my favorite character Elise Rainier played by Lin Shaye as she faces the horrors of her past. In Insidious: Chapter 3, Elise returns to using her gifts to help others and makes pea[...]
Let’s watch a horror movie! Annabelle: Creation! Doesn’t that sound like fun? Of course it does. Watching scary movies with friends is the best! And what could be better than demons and dolls? Nothing. This 2017 horror movie was directed by David F Sandburg and written by Gary Dauberman and is the prequel to the 2014 movie Annabelle and ties in nicely to that movie. We all remember that creepy possessed doll fondly and this movie shares the doll’s origin. Because why wouldn’t you want to know? Samuel and Esther Mullins, played by Anthony LaPaglia and[...]
